New Regional Alignment in the Post-Soviet Space: The EU as an Active Player in the Eastern Partnership Countries (Case of Georgia)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines how the interests, objectives, strategy and policy of the European Union (EU) towards the countries of the Eastern Partnership have changed over time, with a focus on Georgia. The article explains the essence of Europeanization and integration processes in this region, as well as the new role the EU plays in the post-Soviet region. The case of Georgia is used as an example. The article examines how Georgia's status gradually changed from a recipient of EU humanitarian aid to an EU candidate country. The article analyzes various official EU documents that subsequently became guides for the formation of the EU policy about the Eastern Partnership countries. The article also draws attention to the contradictory geographical identity of individual Eastern Partnership countries, most notably the South Caucasus, including Georgia. The article shows how war became the main variable influencing the fundamental revision of the EU policy towards the Eastern Partnership countries and examples include the Georgian-Russian war of 2008 and the Ukrainian-Russian war. The article examines how the war in both cases became a trigger for the development of new geopolitical projects and concepts on the part of the EU. Nouvel alignement régional dans l'espace post-soviétique : L'UE en tant qu'acteur actif dans les pays du partenariat oriental (Le cas de la Géorgie) Les intérêts, les objectifs, la stratégie et la politique de l'Union européenne (UE) à l'égard des pays du Partenariat oriental ont évolué au fil du temps. L’auteur étudie cette évolution à travers le cas de la Géorgie. Il explique l'essence des processus d'européanisation et d'intégration dans cette région, ainsi que le nouveau rôle que joue l'UE dans la région post-soviétique, montrant que le statut de la Géorgie a progressivement changé, passant de celui de bénéficiaire de l'aide humanitaire de l'UE à celui de pays candidat à l'UE. L'analyse porte sur divers documents officiels de l'UE qui sont devenus par la suite des guides pour l'élaboration de sa politique à l'égard des pays du Partenariat oriental et sur les identités géographiques contradictoires des différents pays du Partenariat oriental, notamment dans la région du Caucase du Sud, avec la Géorgie comme exemple clé. L’auteur montre comment la guerre est devenue la variable principale influençant la révision fondamentale de la politique de l'UE à l'égard des pays du Partenariat oriental, grâce aux exemples de la guerre russo-géorgienne de 2008 et de la guerre russo-ukrainienne de 2022. Enfin, il s’intéresse au fait que la guerre a déclenché, dans les deux cas, de nouveaux projets géopolitiques de la part de l'UE, étayés par de nouveaux concepts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
